P2 GOLD ANNOUNCES UPSIZING AND CLOSING OF FIRST TRANCHE OF FINANCING, DEBT SETTLEMENT AND OPTION GRANT

P2 Gold Inc. intends to increase the size of its non-brokered private placement, previously announced on Aug. 26, 2024, to 18 million units (from 10 million units) in the capital of the company at a price of five cents per unit for gross proceeds of up to $900,000. It has closed the first tranche of the offering consisting of five million units for gross proceeds of $250,000.

The company also reports that it has agreed with certain insiders of P2 to settle $840,000 in shareholder loans previously provided for working capital for 8.4 million shares of the company at a deemed price of 10 cents per share.

The offering

Each unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share in the capital of the company at an exercise price of 10 cents per common share for a period of two years from the date of issue, provided that, if, after four months from the date of issue, the closing price of the common shares of the company on the TSX Venture Exchange is equal to or greater than 20 cents for a period of 10 consecutive trading days at any time prior to the expiry time, the company will have the right to accelerate the expiry time of the warrants by giving notice to the holders of the warrants by news release or other form of notice permitted by the certificate representing the warrants that the warrants will expire at 4:30 p.m. Vancouver time on a date that is not less than 30 days from the date notice is given.

Insiders of the company subscribed for five million units of the first tranche. The issuance of units to insiders is considered a related party transaction subject to Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The company intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 on the basis that the participation in the offering by the insiders will not exceed 25 per cent of the fair market value of the company's market capitalization. A material change report in connection with the offering will be filed less than 21 days before the closing of the offering. This shorter period is reasonable and necessary in the circumstances as the company wishes to complete the offering in a timely manner.

The proceeds of the offering will be used to finance exploration expenditures and for general corporate purposes. All securities issued pursuant to the first tranche will be subject to a four-month hold period expiring on Jan. 4, 2025.

In connection with the offering, the company may pay finders' fees as permitted by the policies of the exchange. The offering will be offered to accredited investors in all provinces of Canada pursuant to applicable securities laws. All securities issued pursuant to the offering will be subject to a four-month hold period.

Shares for debt settlement

The issuance of loan shares in respect of the loan settlement remains subject to the approval of the exchange. The loan shares to be issued in respect of the loan settlement will be subject to a hold period of four months from the date of issuance.

The loan settlement with such insiders will be a related party transaction under MI 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The loan settlement with each of these individuals is exempt from the minority approval and formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the debt nor the fair market value of the shares to be issued in settlement of the debt exceeds 25 per cent of P2's market capitalization.

Incentive stock option grant

The company has granted stock options, pursuant to its stock option plan, to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the company to purchase an aggregate of 1.4 million common shares in the capital of the company at an exercise price of 10 cents per share, which expire on Sept. 3, 2026. Following this stock option grant, the company has a total of 7,053,333 stock options outstanding representing approximately 5.7 per cent of the outstanding common shares of the company. This stock option grant is subject to acceptance by the exchange.
